Mueller
Welcome toThe neighborhood
Mueller is one of Austin’s most desirable master-planned communities, built on the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport just three miles from Downtown Austin. Known for its modern urban design, walkability, and sustainability focus, Mueller blends residential living with retail, parks, restaurants, and community amenities. The Mueller neighborhood attracts homebuyers seeking a vibrant, mixed-use environment with easy access to central Austin.
Overview
Where community is actually built in
Mueller isn't just a neighborhood — it's an entirely reimagined city block. Built on the site of the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, this 711-acre master-planned community opened in 2007 and has since become one of Austin's most beloved places to live. The vision was simple and ambitious: a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood where you could grocery shop, visit the farmer's market, walk to the park, and grab dinner without ever needing your car.
Today, Mueller delivers on that promise. Over 6,000 residents call it home, drawn by the thoughtful street grid, the 140 acres of parks and open space, and a genuine sense of community that newer developments often promise but rarely achieve. The weekly farmer's market, the splash pad at Mosaic Park, the food trucks along Mueller Lake — these aren't amenities bolted on. They're the architecture of daily life here.
For buyers, Mueller offers one of Austin's most diverse housing inventories: single-family homes, townhomes, live-work units, and condos, all within a 10–15 minute commute to downtown. For sellers, demand remains consistently strong from the range of buyers Mueller attracts — young families, remote professionals, retirees, and everyone in between.
